Using a Buildout Below a Television
IMPORTANT NOTE REGARDING TELEVISIONS AND THIS FIREPLACE
Most television manufacturers instruct the homeowner to not place the television above a heat source. Doing so may
negatively affect the longevity of the television and may negate the warranty. If you do place a television above the
fireplace, please be aware of the large amount of heat generated by the fireplace and consider placing the television
above a mantel to reduce the amount of heat that reaches the television. The homeowner must understand that
Travis Industries does not take responsibility for any negative impact to televisions placed near this fireplace.

Minimum Dimensions:
(a) Minimum Buildout Height above Base of Fireplace*
(b) Minimum Buildout Depth*
(c) Fireplace Buildout Width
* Buildout depth is 8" minimum to allow heat to travel forward and dissipate. If using more than an 8"
buildout, make sure to make the buildout height (a) higher (buildout must meet mantel requirements - see
page 44 for details).
NOTE: The buildout must extend 2" in front of the TV and 3" to both sides and top. If you have a TV that is greater
than 6" deep (including the 1" gap behind), you will need to alter the buildout depth and height.
WIRING NOTE: If running wiring into the enclosure, use thermal insulating wrap around the wiring. Secure the wiring
to protect from contact with hot surfaces.
